Further Background on the Lost tradition of the Sacred Bee
Prehistoric man held the bee sacred for tens of thousands of years, as did the ancient civilizations of Sumer, Egypt, Greece, and South America, amongst many others. The bee is the inspiration and symbol of Freemasonry, and the United States of America was founded on its principles and its most iconic monument is dedicated to the bee. Why? The remarkable service that bees provide as pollinators of plants and trees and producers of life-affirming nectar is part of the equation. But there was another, more shamanistic reason: bees were regarded as Gods and Goddesses, whose ancestral spirits were thought to be the keepers of a sacred tradition.
The bee is dying, and as contributors to over 30% of the world's food sources, its demise which was widely prophesied by the likes of Albert Einstein represents a vital moment in human history.
